Alternative route by Finger Stones

by TommyMc 9 Apr 2019

Like ceadeile, I too found the track beyond the Finger Stones overgrown with whins and briars, so much so that I couldn't find a route from there through the forest to the summit.

An alternative approach can be made by taking the stony path up to the Finger Stones and continuing until you meet a fence boundary onto an agricultural field. Take an immediate left and follow the fence downhill a short distance. Cross another fence to enter the forest and from there proceed uphill to the summit and trig pillar.

An interesting hill.

The portion of the track beyond the turnoff for the Finger Stones is becoming overgrown with whins and briars but is still passable early April 2019. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1267/comment/20479/
